Mazzei Siepi Toscana Rosso 2018 MAGNUM i trækasse

James Suckling

Extremely perfumed and crystal-clear with violets, plums, raspberries, walnuts and black olives. It’s medium to full-bodied with very fine tannins that are extremely polished and refined. The length is long and very previse. Chocolate and hazelnuts. This is the 25^th anniversary of this fine merlot and sangiovese. Hard not to drink now but better after 2022.

Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. Opulent nose with multi-layered fruit, sweet elderberries, black cherries, cocoa and fine toasting aroma, elegant flowery hints in the background. On the palate well structured and balanced with great aromatic depth and concentration. A very youthful but promising wine with excellent potential.

Iconic and regal displays a floral beauty that alternates lavender with hints of hibiscus, wet geraniums, warm asphalt and juniper berries. A frame of citrus nuances is described with pink grapefruit juice, pink pepper, ground cinnamon and sweet caramel. Full body, slightly rigid tannins well blended with a matrix rich in matter and a finish that verticalizes from the center of the palate onwards. A blend of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Merlot.

This lovely 2018 Siepi, from old vines of Sangiovese and Merlot, comes out roaring. I have long been a fan of this historic wine that so carefully blends the fruity freshness and bright flavors of the Tuscan grape with the soft and succulent background tones of the French counterpart. These two sides achieve elegance and balance in this classic vintage. To the palate, the wine is fleshed out and texturally rich. I’m happily settling on the higher part of the range of scores I had previously published. The wine has come together in seamless fashin with that extra bottle aging.

Shiny, rich ruby with a fine purple shimmer. Very clear and memorable nose, full of cassis and blackberry, balsamic notes in the background. Very precise on the palate, shows a lot of fresh black cherry fruit, polished, fine-meshed tannin, in the finale a fine melt.
